Housework, bleh!

We had our cleaning frenzy today. I've cleaned out the cupboard under the kitchen sink, removed, cleaned and put back the... thing on the loo that enables Mum to get up from it, scrubbed the bathtub and wiped bath and loo - all that before our cleaning lady would arrive.

When she came, I helped her to move the furniture around, so that she could hoover the dratted wall-to-wall carpet, dusted all the bookshelves, and as soon as she was finished with one room, I reconstructed the original configuration of said room.

This took me from 7.10am to 1.30pm. Needless to say that crafting was out of the question. Fortunately, Mum was okay with Tütensuppe, sandwiches and a salad for lunch, so at least I didn't have to cook... much.

I squeezed in a little bit of writing, mostly character descriptions, just to be able to keep my picowrimo schedule.

After that, I had an almost hour-long phone conversation with my friend Evie, typed up what little I'd managed to write, and lo and behold! it is evening again.
